A traditional passport can transport you across the globe, but for parents and students attending the Harry L. Edson Elementary School Open House on Saturday, February 23rd from 10 AM – 12 PM, (snow date Saturday, March 2) a “passport” will guide them through their future school.

“Change can be a challenge, but it can also be very exciting,” comments Harry L. Edson Elementary School principal William Krupp. “Here at Edson Elementary School, we are keeping a positive focus on the new adventures that await students. In a sense, this school will become their new home. We plan to preserve the culture and traditions that they carry with them from Sophie Finn, as we welcome them to Edson and also share what makes our school special.”

Sophie Finn parents and students will be welcomed by current Edson parents and students during the Saturday Open House. Kingston High School students will also be on hand to serve as tour guides, assisting visitors as they explore the building. Students will have the opportunity to to see their future classrooms and meet their future classmates.

While this may sound like a typical day at school, what’s different is the location. As part of the first in a series of school-wide field trips, Sophie Finn third grade students will visit Edson Elementary School for a day of fun and learning.

In addition to meeting their future classmates and getting acquainted with the school building, students will also share learning experiences and even have snacks in their future cafeteria.
